Education and Career

He studied at Harvard Law School, where he worked with Yochai Benkler, and the University of Michigan for undergrad. He is a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.


He has been involved in network neutrality policy debates for many years. In 2008, as the General Counsel of Free Press, he was the lead lawyer before the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Comcast Corp. v. FCC, which has been called the FCC's most significant network neutrality decision. Technology lawyer Gigi Sohn called it the biggest public interest victory for a media rights issue in over two decades.[1] He also argued the case on behalf of consumer groups and technology companies before the D.C. Circuit.

In 2009, he authored a major report on the future of online television, an issue that became central to the Comcast-NBC merger review and prompted merger conditions.[2]

His academic scholarship focuses on First Amendment and technology.

He spoke at TEDx University of Michigan in 2011 about the topic of network neutrality (see video below).
